Wacko Dreams

The strange dreams are starting, just like the baby books said they would. I thought I might be able to skip out on these weird dreams since my body pretty much skipped out on the uhm, how should I put this, “adult-themed” dreams that the books said I would get in early pregnancy. But oh no, why give Missy the fun dreams and skip the scary ones? Let’s do it the other way around. Grrr.

So my dream on Saturday night was that I was in labor and went to the hospital to have the baby, but then was completely unconscious while the baby was actually delivered. When I woke up the nurses kept telling me I had had my baby, but Jon wasn’t around and none of our families were there, and I couldn't remember giving birth at all. They kept trying to give me this big-headed crying baby (we’re talking massive, massive head here) and saying it was mine. But I didn’t remember it! Then Jon came in and said that the birth was so wonderful and blah blah blah but, again, I didn’t remember any of it. Then I wanted to feed the baby but they all said that the baby was big enough for right now and I shouldn’t hold it or feed it at all. I was crying and crying and so upset and everyone else kept talking about how great the delivery was and I would tell them that I didn’t remember at all but they would just ignore me.

It was all very surreal. I really did not enjoy that dream. I’m not sure what it means, but I’d rather have the “fun” dreams that I was supposed to have earlier rather than the “massive-headed baby that you don’t remember giving birth to” dreams.
